They've got a medical system in Cuba that pays for EVERYTHING, including dentistry, and I noticed when I was down that that the average Cuban seems slimmer, healthier, and more active than the average Canadian or American. I wonder why? :-)

You know, if dental care was free in Canada do you really think anyone in this country would be dying slowly from being poisoned by their decaying teeth which they couldn't afford to get fixed? I don't think so.

For what I pay yearly for routine dental care in Canada (cleaning and maybe one cavity fixed), a Cuban could LIVE very nicely on for a couple of years. Some older Canadians go there to retire. I can see why. I hope their system survives for a long time, because it definitely deserves to.
